Offseason Day 1

The 2011 NFL season is officially underway. Trading period began today, along with teams being allowed to negotiate with free agents, and sign rookies. Every NFL team can discuss a contract with any free agent player, but cannot officially sign him until Friday. As predicted, the first day of the off season is moving quite fast, and teams are making very big decisions.

Many players have reported to be released, re-signed, and discussed in a trade today. Here are some of the rumored things that have happened so far. 

Seattle Seahawks cut ties with quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. They are reported to have signed two quarterbacks to round their edges, Tarvaris Jackson and Matt Leinart. Pete Carroll might be reuniting with his former USC quarterback.   

The Cincinnati Bengals have made it clear that they will not trade quarterback Carson Palmer. As said before, Palmer is ready to retire.

Desean Jackson might pull a Vincent Jackson and hold out from the Eagles until he gets the contract he feels he deserves. Michael Vick had this to say about the situation.

"I spoke to DeSean yesterday, and we're trying to figure out what's going to happen. Hopefully he'll be here tomorrow. DeSean just has to think about it and has some decisions to make that only himself can make.''

The Dallas Cowboys made very big decisions today. Sources say they have released WR Roy Williams, RB Marion Barber, G Leonard Davis, and K Kris Brown. Many think that Jerry Jones is freeing up cap room to sign a big name free agent like say, Nnamdi Asomugha. That's as big of name as you can find this year.

The Minnesota Vikings have been in discussion with the Washington Redskins about a trade for quarterback Donovan McNabb. They have also reached an agreement with Bears former receiver Devin Aromashodu.

Big news in New York, and no, not from Rex Ryan and the Jets. According to team sources, the Giants are discussing a potential Plaxico Burress return. BANG! You'd laugh if you know what I'm talking about. 

Santana Moss and the Redskins have been reported that they have reached a three year deal worth $15 million. 

Vincent Jackson made headlines today, shocker. Jackson will report to camp on Friday, and sign his franchise tag. 

The Rams have reached an agreement with safety Quintin Mikell on a four year deal. 

New England Patriot's Logan Mankins will report to training camp on time. They will also be releasing LB Tully Banta-Cain.

ESPN reports that the Packers have told LB Nick Barnett they will try and trade him. If they do not trade him, he will be released into free agency.

Undrafted quarterback Pat Devlin from Delaware signed with the Dolphins. The Colts and Raiders were said to be interested as well. 

Brett Favre might be coming back, again, again, and again. The only team rumored to be interested is the Philadelphia Eagles. They could use a backup quarterback.

Speaking of the Eagles and quarterbacks, Kevin Kolb has not been traded yet. That is actually a surprise to many.

DE Charles Johnson re-signs with the Panthers in a 6 year, 72 million dollar deal. 

The Jaguars have agreed to terms with 24, yes twenty-four undrafted rookies.

Staying in that same division, the Titans have agreed to terms with 14 undrafted rookies.

The Ravens have told Derrick Mason, Willis McGahee, Kelly Gregg, and Todd Heap they will be released.

San Diego waited no time. They re-signed Jeremy Clary for four more years, and Randy McMichael was re-signed for another year as well. The biggest news they made was agreeing to terms with LB Takeo Spikes. With Spikes, veteran leadership will be added to the bolts defense. Bob Sanders also agreed to terms with the Chargers as expected before the lockout.

The Jets have been reported to have interest in Nnamdi Asomugha. Would you believe that?! Darelle Revis on one side, Nnamdi Asomugha on the other. Good luck quarterbacks.

Tomorrow is another day. Expect even bigger tomorrow.
